NVELOPE Thermal Solutions
Optimised solutions, superior performance

Bridging the thermal performance gap.

National building regulations set targets for energy efficiency, where a vast majority of UK buildings contribute to the performance gap. This is where they use more energy than was predicted during assessment. Disparity between as-designed and as-built must be addressed, with construction components and systems developed to help bridge the thermal performance gap and where ever a suitable non-combustible material is available it will almost always be appropriate to use. SFS have reacted proactively to these call to actions.

Energy efficiency legislation

• Climate Change Emergency announced by UK government 2019
• Climate change act 2008 commits UK to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050
• UK is a signatory to 2015 Paris agreement

Future standards

• Approved document L sets standards for energy performance of new and existing buildings in England
• Thermal efficiency as expressed as U values will continue to improve to meet energy efficiency targets

Finding the right solution for your project

To reach the correct thermal design for your project, you need to consider a number of key areas including: fire safety, thermal performance, heat loss, sustainability of materials, physical constraints, location and budget. Which is why, to achieve the correct thermal solution for your project that balances all the key areas can be tricky. Introducing the innovative SFS NVELOPE® Thermal Solutions range which makes this process much easier. Our Thermal Solutions operate across the wide range of NVELOPE® rainscreen subframe systems and utilises the proven technology of Project Builder Thermal to help projects to be optimised for performance and budget.

SFS have been able to create high performing solutions that guard against thermal degradation due to compression of the thermal pad, ensuring no loss in thermal performance over time. NVELOPE® Thermal Solutions range is created in both Aluminium and Stainless Steel brackets which offer differing thermal properties. Whether a lower or a higher thermal performance is required, we have the flexibility to fine-tune your project requirements.

Our solutions offer a range of thermal performances from good to exceptional, balanced against budget requirements. Supported by our Project Builder calculator, careful selection from the range can effectively reduce the thickness of insulation thereby reducing overall costs.
